Summary:
|
Technical report for optical fibre and cable for space division multiplexing (SDM) transmission is established for analysing the current state of technical maturity, clarifying technical and commercial aspects, and highlighting characteristics with related technologies and network configuration/installation/operations towards developing a future cost effective network and ecosystem utilizing SDM fibre and cable technologies. Classification and definition of existing SDM optical fibre and cable technologies are described. Geometrical, mechanical and optical property of various SDM optical fibres are analysed. Examination of potential application areas are investigated taking into account the relationship with various SDM fibre and cable technologies. Furthermore aspects on how to use SDM fibres in anticipated applications are being addressed, including considerations on connector & splicing technologies and how to imbed in current optical system technologies. Purpose is to establish a clear and agreed upon roadmap for SDM optical fibre and cable technologies including the related technology such as test method, connectivity, maintenance and so on.
